1t is announced that ETHEL SPRAGUE,
daughter of Mrs. KATE CHASE SpRAeUE. is
studying for the stage and proposes to play
tragedy. Does Miss SPRAGUE possess the fol-
lowing requirements:
A set of teeth that have never been tam
pered with by dentist?
Can she say, "My God, where am r. with
out getting out of breath?
Can she fall on q hard pine floor and drive
q ten-penny nail in an inch with her ear
without saying "Ouchg'
Can she look bootblack in the back seat
of the gallery steadily in the eye and yell loud
enough to wake up policeman two blocks
away?
Are her shoulders white and beautifully
moulded?
Is her hair auburn, and does it curl slightly?
Can she stride distance of twenty-four
feet without turning her toes in?
Has she an arm that tapers gracefully from
the shoulder to the wrist?
Has she vitality enough to enable her, after
she has run dagger through her heart and
died OH the vest of her lover, to come out be-
fore the curtain and bow and smile to wild

A dispatch from Hastings. Neb., says a
farmer by the name of SoHooKE was found
by the roadside burned to death. Investiga-
ton proved that the man was under the in
fiuenee of liquor at the time of his death.
This should be a warming to bibulous citi-
zens of Nebraska. Before drinking, they
should drop a railroad spike into their
whisky. If the spike can bear up under the
strain five minutes without getting red hot, it
will be safe to swallow the Dose If this pre-
caution is not taken, the man who hampers
with Nebraska whisky may expect to suffer
the fate Of poor ScHooKE and be found
burned to a crisp by the wayside.
1t is reported that REMENYI, the famous
Hungarian yiolinist, was drowned a few
weeks ago in a shipwreck off the coast of
Madagascar. While thousands of people who
have listened to the ravishing music of
REMENYIs violin with charmed senses will
mourn his death, there is one woman in
Southwestern Iowa who will undoubtedly in
dulge in a smile of satisfaction, and this is
why. Six years ago REMENYI gave an enter
tainment in the opera house at Red Oak 10.
The building was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity, and REMENYI was doing his best to
please his audience. The concert half over,
he came out in response to an encore, and
was in the midst of a beautiful rhapsody.
when the tones of his violin were drowned
by the voice of child that had been sleep
ing in its mothers arms down in the parquet.
REaENYI became furious, and, lifting his bow
from the strings, he pointed at the mother
of the child with glaring eyes and bristling
hair, and cried: "Get out! get out, l say,
with your squalling brat. You should know
better than TO bring it to such place as this.
I'll play no more till you CO." The mother,
chagrined. and, with tears of modification in
her eyes, went out, while REMENYI caught up
the strain of music where he had left it and
played it through, but he was unable to
arouse any interest in the audience during
the remainder of the programme. He was a
crank of the first water.
WALDO NJ. POTTER, of La Moure, and JOHN
SON NICKEUs, ofJamestown, according to the
telegraph, addressed a crowd of thirty diyis-
ionists at the opera house in Grand Forks
Tuesday night. The inference shouldn't be
drawn that there is not much interest taken
in the question of division in Dakota because
there were only thirty people present on this
occasion. Thirty people are what the news
papers in that country call "a large and ap-
preciative audience"

Twin CITY Realty,
70 the Editor of the Globe.

To the Editor of the Globe.
The New York Herald correspondent,
writing from Minneapolis under date of
Oct. 49, makes some statements in ref
erence to the condition of realty in the
two cities that should be met before
their sensational character takes root in
minds more skeptical than our own
The evident intent of the article is to
brighten Eastern capital from Western
Investment, which has proved both safe
and profitable, in so much so, that the
East looks with jealous and uneasy
feeling on substantial Western prog
reSS. Capital is timid. Touch its feelerS
and it draws in like sensitive insect.
Cry ''infiation," over valuation" and
keep it up by sticking to the lie and it
will finally stick and bring disaster to
those who are most substantial. This
correspondent yields the pen of a
fluent, ready writer, and takes a range
of territory prOportlOnate to his elastic
statements. Winnipeg, in her wildcat
imitation of 1882, he compares to St.Paul
as it at present exists, and predicts
like experience for this city. He knows
well the conditions are directly the OPP
pOSite so far as comparison goes, pro-
vided any sane man dare compare our
condition with that of Winnipeg in

of the Lamentations of jeremiah"
and will affect st. Paul just about
as much. He says ''the night
cometh" and ''the earthquake
is near" The ''bubble will BURST" and
1--WE shall fade like the morning dew"
Beautiful imagery, | say very beauti-
full, and just about as substantial as the
writer of that letter. Tell the New
York Herald that they need not put
their ears to the ground to hear any
thing drop in st. Paul. If an earth
quake comes l guess we can take care
of st. Paul. The West is somewhat
better able to stand alone than she was
a few years ago. Let the East look
well to her laurelS, for disaster and re-
pudiation grow better in Eastern cities
nearer home elizabeth City, for exam
ple) than in our pushing West. st.
Paul must grow and prosper: it's not
her fault. r. C. NJ.

POVERTY IN POLITICS.

The poverty of political issues in New
York is we'll illustrated by the fact that
the Republicans are fighting Col JOHN
r. FELLOWS, the Democratic nominee
for district attorney, on the issue that
he is poor and in debt. If being in debt
disqualifies man for office there is no
sort Of civil service reform capable of
supplying material with which to fill
the offices in this country. In fact,
poverty is rather badge of distinction
for politician. 1t is a sort of certi-
ficate of his honesty. Our greatest
American statesmen were noted for
their impecuniosity. HENRY CLAY and
DANIEL WEBSTER were striking in
stances. 1t is said, on good authority,
that ABRAHAM LINCOLN had to
borrow money to get to Washing
ton to enter the Office of president. Ex-
Presidents MONROE and TYLER didn't
leave enough of worldly goods behind
them to pay for erecting tOmbstones
over their graves. 1t is only recently
that shaft has been erected to mark
the place where MONROE sleeps, while
TYLER still rests in an unmarked grave.
When ROSCOE CONKLING retired from
the senate he was over ears in debt and
had to borrow money to get back to
New York. So that after all the Re-
publicans have brought up far fetched
issue against Col. FELLOWS when they
take the position that he ought to be de-
feated because he is in debt. If every
man in New York who is similarly stu
ated votes for FELLOWS he will get the
rousingest majority that any man ever
walked away from the polls with.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 27.-The Brother
hood of Base Bah Players held a meet
ing to-day at the Grand hotel. Repre-
sentatives were present from all the
league clubs. John M. Ward, of the
New York combination; Mike Kelly, of
Boston; Jerry Denny, of Indianapolis; :.
Fred n. Pfeffer. of Chicago; Dam
BrOuthers, of Detroit; A. Dalrymple, of
Pittsburg, and Arthur Irwin, of Phila-'
delphia, took part in the deliberations,
which were secret. They were rein
forced by L. j. Keefe, New York's
pitcher, who is secretary and treasurer
of the Brotherhood, and George A.
Wood, of Philadelphia, who held the
Washington clubs proxy. Both the
Philadelphia and New York Base Ball
clubs are quartered at the Grand hotel.
The former is en- route to Denver and
the latter to New Orleans. Leon Viau

Scraps of Sport.

The New Yorks have secured Pitcher Crane
and Fielder Slattery, of the Torontos. The
club has under engagement as fielders Foster,
Slattery, Gillespie, Gore, Tiernan and Dor
who are also fielders. Gillespie and Rainey
will be released. The club will have Keefe,
WEIGH, Crane and Titcomb as pitchers next
season; Ewing Murphy, Brown, O'Rourke,
field or Cleveland, in the inGeld; Tiernan,
Gore and Foster or Slattery as outfielders.
Umpire Quinn, of the Northwestern league,
and manager Hart, of the Milwaukee club,
have been at swords points all the season.
They meta the fremont night before last and
after some words Quinn, who said he did not
want to strike a smaller man, gave his head
toss and butted Hart in the face. Hart hap
pened to have his mouth open and his teeth
came in contact with Quinn's scalp, leaving
a distinct print of both rows and drawing
liberal flow of blood. Friends interfered be-
fore further damage was done.
ut almost breaks my heart to think of leay-
ing, said Pfeffer yesterday, ''but Pm going.
No one ever was treated better by the people
than have been here, and / have many
friends that / hate to leave For all that I'm
going. can't tell where I'm going, but I've
maze up my mind to go Somewhere.-Chi-
cago Tribune.
The Chicago Tribune winds up its report
OF the Western league meeting as follows:
1.-THE association is sort of catchpenny
affair. which will depend on Sunday games
LOT Sustenance, and 1t is doubtful If 1t will
merit or receive sufficient patronage to keep
it alive"
The Boston Herald says: Clarkson's folks
are anxious that he should quit base ball
playing and enter business and the famous
pitcher already has an advantageous offer in
that direction which it is more than likely he
will accept.
Dave Rowe saws Hoover, the new catcher
signed by the Chicago club, is one of the
greatest throwers to bases ever seen, and his
actions behind the bat and at the plate re-
mind one very strongly of Kelly.
Frank Flint will not go to California with
the Chicago players. He will spend a couple
of weeks with his parents in ST. Louis and
then, in all probability, will sail for Europe,
to remain all winter

TOO OFTEN SIGNED.
The Des Nfoines Register Roasts
Young Earle.


Des Moines Register.
In our Sundays issue we announced
that William Earle, of last years Du-
luth team, would be found behind the
plate for the Des MOines team next
year. We must have been mistaken, but
as considerable has been said about
Earle, we will now have a little say of
our own considering this undersigned
young man, who evidently does not re-
alize how deep he has got his foot into
it, but he may find out next spring when
the time comes for him to play. After
the Duluth team finished its last game
in this city the club was diSbanded and
the players were free to go home or
wherever they pleased. Earle then eX-
pressed desire to play in DeS MONIES
next season, as Joe Quinn was to be
member of the home team, and said he
would like some advance money as he
would like to send some money home,
and that he was going back to Duluth
advanced to him. and he came to
the writer of this item and asked
him to go to the express Office
with him Earle) as he wanted to send
the advance money he had received
from the DeS MoineS management to
his brother in Philadelphia, and to-
gether they went to the United States
express Office and the money was sent,
Earle saying that he now could tell
Barnes (of st. Paul. that he had not
been slick enough to catch him. On
Sunday one of the members OF the Chi
cago team, who read the item that Earle
was to play in Des Moines, remarked to
us that the young man had got himself

was in st. Paul, Earle signed contract
with deacon" Smith, of Duluth, for
next season, and then later in the day
signed another contract with Barnes to
play in st. Paul. In law, so we are in
formed, Earle's acceptance of money
makes contract that will hold him,
and he may have an injunction served
on him next season that will prevent
him playing elsewhere. Duluth and
st. Paul both hold contracts for the
young man and one or the other of them
may give him rattle too, before the
thing is over. The young man had
better look ''leedle out"

Special to the Globe.


Special to the Globe
DULUTH, Oct. 27.-The special train
with all the prominent personageS who
went to Tower arrived in Duluth about
3 p. m. to-day. The cars were attached
to the $3.50 train for Ashland and the
party will stay over there tonight and
tomorrow will go over to Colby, Mimi,
and inspect that place. Messrs. Flow
ers, Potter and Sterling were seen for a
few moments this afternoon and in con-
yersation expressed themselves as being
very fayorably impressed with what
they had seen. They have made very
minute inquiries into the resources and
capabilities of Duluth and there is little
doubt but that this visit will lead to
some development in their line of bust
ness, namely, that of steel and iron
works. The whole party were emphatic
| in, their admiration of the wonderful
mines at Tower and praised the enter
prise and perseverance displayed in the
vast undertaking of opening up the
VermiliOn range.
This morning Jack Welch and Ed
Kritz, former attaches of the Duluth
theater, went few miles out of the city
for hunt. They had one gun, which
was carried by Kritz, and after firing
several shots Welch spied squirrel in
tree, and proceeded to 60 around to
the opposite side for the purpose of
soaring it so that Kritz could shoot.
Just as Kritz was raising the gun to his
shoulder the weapon was discharged,
and Welch fell, the whole load of shot
having penetrated his right arm at the
shoulder. Kritz succeeded in carrying
him to farm house short distance
away, where horse and wagon was
procured to bring the wounded man to
the city. His wounds were dressed,
after which he was taken to st. Luke's
hospital.
Hubbard & Vincent have purchased
the planning mill owned by Peck q Co.,
and will proceed to remove the plant
from its present site to their own prop
erty. The company expects to run the
mill all winter for the purpose of filling
large contracts for dressed lumber to be
shipped in the spring.
John Butler, OF Massachusetts, cousin
of Gen. B. F. Butler and a wealthy spec

think his recovery doubtful.
Arguments pro and con in the man

levy half-mill tax for the support of
the commissioner of the bureau of sta
tistics were submitted and heard before
Judge Sleeper. W. W. Billson appeared
for the plaintiffs and r. p. Edison, city
attorney, for the city council. Decision
was reserved.
Representatives of the Equitable
Life Insurance company are in the city
completing arrangements for commend
